Delivering a Greener Future
Our Commitment to Sustainable Delivery
At Dust Spares, we recognise the importance of sustainability and its role in protecting the environment. That’s why we’ve partnered with leading delivery providers, DPD and DX, who share our vision for a greener future. From innovative electric vehicle fleets to robust waste management strategies, here’s how our delivery partners are embracing sustainability in every step of their operations.
DPD: Driving Change with Electric Deliveries
DPD has set ambitious goals to revolutionise parcel delivery in the UK, with a commitment to achieving all-electric deliveries in 30 UK towns and cities covering 25% of the population by the end of the year.
Driving toward zero emissions, here’s what makes them stand out.
✔️ Electric Fleet Expansion - Over 3,600 electric vehicles (EVs) already on the road, delivering over 64 million parcels in 2023. By 2024, DPD aims to deliver 100 million parcels using EVs.
✔️ Cleaner Fuel Alternatives - 95% of their heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) now operate on hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel, reducing emissions.
✔️ Innovative Solutions - DPD is the first UK parcel company to deploy electric delivery robots, showcasing their commitment to cutting-edge sustainability.
✔️ Waste Management Excellence - 90% of waste produced by DPD is reused or recycled, with the remaining waste converted to energy - achieving a 100% landfill diversion rate over the past three years.
✔️ DPD's Circular Initiatives - Plastic packaging used by DPD is now made from 80% recycled agricultural materials and is 100% recyclable, helping reduce reliance on virgin materials.
DX: Paving the Way to Net Zero
DX is committed to reducing its environmental footprint and has implemented a range of initiatives to align with its sustainability goals:
✔️ Net Zero Ambitions - DX has set a target to achieve net zero by 2050 and is steadily introducing electric vehicles into its fleet.
✔️ Green Fleet Innovations - Recent investments include electric vehicles for home deliveries in partnership with IKEA and parcel deliveries in London. These initiatives have reduced emissions and demonstrated the feasibility of electric logistics.
✔️ ISO 14001 Certification - DX’s approach to environmental performance is guided by the ISO 14001 environmental management system, ensuring consistent progress toward reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
✔️ Waste Reduction Efforts - By optimising waste segregation and collection, DX is actively reducing landfill contributions while increasing recycling rates.
Looking Ahead
By partnering with environmentally conscious delivery providers, Dust Spares ensures that every parcel delivered not only meets your needs but also contributes to a more sustainable future.
We’re committed to protecting the environment, both now and for the future. From manufacturing in the UK to offering extractor bags made with 30% recycled materials (and striving to increase this further), we aim to make a positive impact on our planet.
Sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we’re proud to partner with DPD and DX.
